I think it might balance out at some point, the population growth is starting to level off, and it might even go into decline at some point if other nations following the westernisation trend. Of course that means an elderly population with not enough people to look after them, which is going to be a problem in the future, in fact it's a problem right now but it's only going to get worse.
Wars and pandemics will definitely help reduce the poorer sections of the population though, likewise famines and such.

Nature will win in the end, unless mankind does her work for her.

Personally speaking, I'm glad I won't be around to witness it.

Some of the reasons I suppose for the push for a global economy and better health care for poorer citizens. Reduces the need to produce more children 'to work the farm' so to speak. Having better health care for poorer citizens also reduces the family's need to produce more children to offset mortality rates.
